Chapter 1020: What Are You Doing With Big Sister Mermaid In There?

Gina had a very long dream. She was walking for a very long time in the boundless desert. The fireball hanging high up in the sky was blaring down so hard on her that she couldn’t breathe. The water content in her body was drying up, and she couldn’t find the water bag on her.

When she felt she was about to die, a pair of huge, warm hands cuddled her from the back. She saw that person’s looks in the midst of her dizziness. That was a handsome man who was different from the men of the merfolk because he had a pair of long and straight legs.

That was a pair of enviable long legs. In order to obtain a pair of legs like that, she had to suffer through a lot before she could barely obtain them, but they simply just grew on him.

Did I finally find the Chosen One? Happiness exploded in Gina’s heart. She wanted to speak, but her throat felt as if it had been burnt by fire.

Then, that man poked an unknown object into her mouth, and a stream of nauseating liquid was poured into her mouth. She couldn’t help but start to throw up.

At that instant, she thought she was going to die from suffocation.

This Chosen One… was a bad egg!!! That was her only thought before she passed out totally.

Gina thought she was dead. She had found the Chosen One, but before she could even utter a word, she died in his arms.

She had left the sea for too long, and lost the most important bag of seawater. There wasn’t any seawater on this continent. Even the Chosen One wouldn’t be able to save her. Furthermore, the Chosen One was a bad egg!

However, after some time, she suddenly felt the surroundings of her body become warm and comfortable, just as if she had returned to the sea.

Comfortable water nourished her body, and her stiff body was beginning to regain some feeling.

The tiredness accumulated in the past few days quickly washed over her, and she went into a deeper sleep. She was sleeping very comfortably as if she was in her own home.

…

Am I already dead?

After some time, Gina opened her eyes slowly and all she saw was white. In front, behind, her left, and her right. She felt as if she was in an enclosed coffin; even turning over her body was an extremely difficult task to achieve.

Only the nobility in Lantisde would use a crystal coffin for burial. It was a very ancient tradition. Given her status, she could indeed use a coffin after her death.

But, didn’t I see the Chosen One after my third teleportation? Was that only a dream of mine? Did I actually return to the Boundless Sea during my last teleportation? Even though I didn’t complete my mission, the high priest wouldn’t have buried me alive, right? There were a lot of question marks in Gina’s heart.

The seawater surrounding her had the taste she was familiar with. Apart from being clean, there was almost no difference with the seawater from Boundless Sea. There absolutely wasn’t any seawater on the continent, because the water on the continent was like poison to them, the merfolk.

“Shhh~”

Right at this moment, a relaxing whistling and water splashing sounds could be heard.

What’s that sound? Gina was ecstatic. She wasn’t dead, so why was she buried alive in a coffin? Although she was brought up with refined manners, she would rather be killed instantly than to be tortured and die slowly in an enclosed space like this.

The desperation for survival made her try to do something—for example, struggle.

“Whoosh!”

The big fishtail created a big splash and landed hard, making a loud sound.

“What the hell!” Mag, who just woke up and was relieving the pressure in his bladder in front of the toilet bowl, shook his hands and almost jumped up.

The bathroom had wet and dry segregation, but this sound wasn’t segregated.

This sound gave Mag a shock. He was still a little befuddled initially, and now he was totally awake. He pulled up his zipper hurriedly and stared at his hand, feeling very unlucky. Then, he turned on the tap to wash his hands, and looked toward the bathtub in a panic.

He had a nightmare last night, so he woke up in a daze and almost forgot he had a mermaid in his bathtub. Listening to the movements, she was most probably awake. He just wondered what she was doing, creating such a big hoo-ha?

“Father, what are you doing with Big Sister Mermaid in there? Why are you making such loud noises?” Amy’s knocking could be heard.

“I am just washing my face, but she seems to be awake,” Mag said to Amy as he immediately opened the door. It was a good thing that he hadn’t gone in, or else he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.

“But… your face is dry?” Amy pointed at Mag’s face.

“I… just started with washing my hands.” Mag’s hands shook. An oversight on his part. He didn’t expect the little one to have such a keen perception.

Gina heard the voices out there and quieted down instantly. She listened in carefully, but she couldn’t understand their conversation at all. She couldn’t help but nervously think, Who are they? Why can’t I understand what they are saying at all? Maybe I didn’t go back to the Boundless Sea Realm, but instead I went to some other sea realm? Could it be there’s other merfolk living there too? Or maybe they are some other species that live underwater?

Amy was simply casually asking. She walked toward the bathroom, and said, “Is Big Sister Mermaid really awake? Then, let’s go and see how she is doing. She must be uncomfortable sleeping in the bathtub alone.”

“Be careful. She has just woken up and may not understand her situation now, so there could be misunderstanding.” Mag quickly stepped forward and kept Amy behind him before he pushed the segregation door open gently.

In the quiet bathroom, a mermaid was lying face down in the bathtub, not moving at all. If it wasn’t for the puddles of water on the floor and slightly rippling water in the bathtub, there would not be much difference from the scene last night.

Gina listened for the movements out there nervously. She could sense that two figures were closing in on her, but she was trapped there—the seawater was too shallow for her to maneuver as she couldn’t even stretch her arms. She didn’t know if the people out there were hostile, but she had already begun to prepare her magic. If there was danger, she could defend herself instantly.

Amy stood at the bathroom entrance, and adorably said, “Big Sister Mermaid, are you awake? I am Amy, and this is my father. We saved you and we are not hostile.”

This voice sounded so cute, like a little girl. But what exactly was she talking about? There seems to be no hostility at all, but I cannot understand them. Can they understand what I am going to say? Gina waved her tail in a panic, and said, “Let me out. I am still alive and can be saved…”
